What fruit is ideal for people with diabetes?
Top Replies
Hi there! You're on the right track. Fruits like berries, apples, pears, and grapefruit have a lower glycemic index, meaning they release sugar more slowly into the bloodstream. This can help maintain better blood sugar control. However, portion control is still essential, even with low glycemic index fruits.
Absolutely! In addition to considering glycemic index, the fiber content in fruits can also help slow down sugar absorption. For instance, fruits with edible peels, like apples and pears, are high in fiber. Frozen fruits are a great option too, as they're often picked and frozen at peak ripeness, retaining their nutrients.
It's essential to remember that managing diabetes is about more than just food choices. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent blood sugar monitoring are all crucial components of diabetes management. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and recommendations.
